St Andrew's Road, Singapore (28 July 2017)
St Andrew's Road is one of the roads in downtown
Singapore. It runs along the western side of the
Padang. The road is lined with a number of historic buildings such as the
Old Supreme Court Building and
City Hall, both of which are today combined to house the National Gallery Singapore. It was named after the
St Andrew's Cathedral which is located at the northern end of the road, at the junction with
Stamford Road.
St Andrew's Road has been around since the 19th century. However it was known as Esplanade Road until 1907, when it was renamed to the present name. The area east of the road is still regarded as the Singapore Esplanade. This includes the
Padang, the
Esplanade Park and the recent developments such as the
Theatres on the Bay and Esplanade Mall.
